Abstract
A computer network includes a client computer and a main computer. The client computer includes a client controller coupled to a plurality of sensors. The main computer includes a main controller. The main controller and client controller are coupled to a bus. The plurality of sensors generate operating parameter data about the components, and the client controller receives the operating parameter data and converts it into a simplified protocol.
Claims22
A computer network comprising:
- a client computer, said client computer comprising:
- a client controller;
- and
- a plurality of sensors coupled to said client controller;
- a bus coupled to said client computers;
- and
- a main computer coupled to said bus, said main computer comprising a main controller.
A method of remotely managing a computer network comprising:
- by receiving operating parameter data of a component from a sensor;
- converting the operating parameter data into a simplified protocol;
- and
- sending the simplified protocol to a main controller.
A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive operating parameter data of a component from a sensor;
- convert the operating parameter data into a standardized format;
- and
- send the simplified protocol to a main controller.
